"Bayern Munich will be working on a deal for Stones, I expect, Brown told Football Insider. They want a new centre-back in the summer, they thought it was going to be Marc Guehi but City beat them to him, so who else is available? Stones stands out as the clear contender when you look at who's available for free, and they'll want to make progress towards an agreement when his contract runs out."
"He's an England international and when he's fit he's a top-line player, and the Bundesliga is less demanding physically than the Premier League. Plus, Vincent Kompany knows him well after they played together at City. There are obvious concerns about his fitness, he hasn't been fit to play for City when they've had major problems at the back, so it's difficult to assess his position."
Bayern Munich is considering signing Manchester City defender John Stones on a free transfer despite ongoing fitness concerns. Manchester City currently has no plans to renew Stones' contract. Vincent Kompany knows Stones from their time together at City. Stones typically plays about 20 games per season, raising fitness doubts. Bayern view the Bundesliga as less physically demanding and believe they might manage his issues better. Bayern had targeted Marc Guehi but missed out. Everton has also shown interest. Stones' willingness to relocate to Germany and join teammates could be a decisive factor.
